Q: What is an apostille?

Apostille proves the authenticity. An apostille is an internationally recognised certificate—attached to a public document—that confirms the authenticity of the signer, seal, and capacity in which the document was issued. It allows the document to be accepted in any other state that has joined the 1961 Hague Apostille Convention (you can check the current list of member countries on the convention’s website). In Estonia, only public notaries may issue a public document. Because the same notary cannot both notarise a document and apostille it, the process normally involves two separate notaries : Notary A notarises or authenticates the original document. Notary B adds the apostille that certifies Notary A’s authority and signature. After notarisation and apostilling, the document is usually translated by a sworn translator into the language required by the receiving country. Courier or postal delivery costs are extra and depend on the shipping method you select.

Q: Why registar a trademark?

Exclusive rights in EU. Registering a trademark gives you exclusive rights to use the brand name or logo in your specific field—whether in Estonia , the EU , or both. No one else can legally use or register the same mark without your permission. A registered trademark is one of the most effective ways to protect your brand from unfair competition . It helps you prevent others from using your name or copying your identity for commercial gain. It’s also cheaper and easier to register your trademark than to prove ownership in court later. In fact, several EU countries—including Estonia, Germany, and Spain—already check the EUIPO trademark database before allowing company names to be registered. This means that if your company name is already registered as a trademark, others cannot use it unless you allow it.

Question 4

Why there is a need for the address?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

As a physical or juridical person, the utilization of an address is essential for various reasons.

All addresses we provide are located in real, physical premises, fully serviced business buildings in central Tallinn.

Having a reliable address—whether you are a private individual or a legal entity—is more than a formality in Estonia:

Who needs it	Why it matters	Typical uses
Natural persons (individuals)	• Receive letters, small parcels, bank cards, and official notices. • Fulfil the statutory requirement to state an address when founding a company (including for e-residents).	① Register a new Estonian company. ② Receive government or banking correspondence. ③ Keep personal and business mail separate.
Legal persons (companies, NGOs, partnerships)	• Mandatory “registered office” for the Commercial Register. • Boosts credibility with banks, investors, and customers. • Ensures a fixed location for service of legal documents.	① List on the Commercial Register and invoicing documents. ② Collect licences / permits that require a local address. ③ Receive official letters, court notices, and parcels.

Compliance & risk management

Estonian law (Commercial Code §63) obliges every company to maintain a local address for legal notices.
Certain regulated activities (e.g. fintech, crypto, FTS licences) require an in-country address before an application will be processed.
A dedicated address helps you avoid missed deadlines, fines, or dissolved-by-court actions triggered by undelivered mail.

Professional image
Publishing a recognised business address—rather than a home or foreign location—signals permanence and transparency, especially to EU-based partners and payment providers.

Bottom line
An address is not just somewhere to “park” mail or just a mailbox; it is a legal safeguard, a credibility booster, and a practical tool for staying organised—whether you are launching your first Estonian company or scaling an established enterprise.

Question 5

Where are the suggested addresses located?

John Doe · Accepted Answer

We currently provide two premium, city-centre business addresses in Tallinn, Estonia (EU).

Both locations are situated in prime commercial districts, recognised by local authorities, banks, and service providers. All addresses we provide are located in real, physical premises, fully serviced business buildings in central Tallinn. As our business grows, we may add or replace addresses, but you’ll always receive advance notice and the same level of service at any new location.
